A presentation of full-length documentaries that are in the production or post-production stage had to take place within the Ukrainian Doc Preview showcase in March, during the 19th Docudays UA. As a result of the presentation, the experts select the winners of the Ukrainian Doc Preview, who traditionally receive many awards. Ukrainian Doc Preview is organized by Docudays UA and the Ukrainian Institute for three years now. In view of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into the territory of Ukraine, our teams have made the decision to postpone the Ukrainian Doc Preview until the war in our country is over. After our victory, the Ukrainian Doc Preview will be resumed as soon as possible.

We are grateful for your applications for the Ukrainian Doc Preview showcase. After we resume our work, all the projects that have been submitted will be automatically registered as submitted, and we will consider them. In addition, when we resume our work, you will be able to update the materials in your applications.
